he aim of every serious student of Judaism is to achieve self-sufficiency in understanding Jewish
texts. For the young man with intellectual capabilities and motivation, who senses a disparity
between his mastery of secular and Jewish subjects, the need to attain an ability to
independently study Jewish classics is an urgent one. And, if he only has one year to devote to
this seemingly impossible effort before beginning his general studies, he must find a program especially
designed for achieving this breakthrough within such a limited period.

Such a program has been developed for motivated post high school students who may not have had a
strong formal Jewish education. The program has its own convenient facilities with its own unique
curriculum. A special staff will provide instruction and guidance to small classes so that individual attention
can be provided for each student.
